LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Letters to the editor are welcome and should be no longer than 700 words. Please submit the Letter to the Editor via the submissions page.
BOOK REVIEWS
Any Book Reviews are requested to follow the following guidelines.
Reviews should primarily consider the value of the book to practitioners and academics in the particular subject area. Reviews should not merely summarise the contents of a book, but rather assess its contribution to the subject and literature as a whole. Criticism is welcome, but must be fair and supported in detail within the review.
Book reviews are generally 700–1,000 words.
Please submit book reviews via the submissions page.
